Mr. Medary: I Bend you the accompanying poetry, which first mot my eye through an European publication, though penned by one of tho most gift-ed daughters ol" America. There can be no doubt as to its authorship, though its whole poetic excellence is so much superior to that which appeared in your paper over the same signature, a few days ago. You will oblige many of your readers by giving it an insertion in your paper; and, in the language of the gentleman who communicated Ihe lines to the .European publisher, " the poem itself is so very beautiful, and the subject so interesting, that I thought you would be glad of a copy of it." It has probably never appeared in print in the United States. II. " ALICE." "Alice Cogswell was an exceedingly interesting girl of high intellectual endowments, deprived of the power of hearing and speeeh by sickness during infancy. She was the daughter of a celebrated physician in Hartford, Connecticut State, America, to whose philosophic and patriotic exertions the Deaf and Dumb Asylum in that city principally owes its existence. Her attachment to her father was remarkably ardent. Immediately afler his death, she said, in her own strong languoge of gesture, "her heart had so grown to his that they could not be separated." In a few days she was suddenly called to follow him, and with the kind sympathy of a feeling friend, and in the hope of alleviating, in some degree, the double affliction of her surviving fnmily, Mrs. Sigourney, of Hartford, addressed to them tho following beautiful lines ; the idea is, that Alice, having arrived at the mansions of bliss, and found her father, addresses those fond objects of her affection whom she left on earth :" ALICE. I. Sisters 1 there's music, here ; From countless harps it Hows, Throughout this bright ccleslial sphere, Nor pause nor discord knows : The seal is moiled from my ear By love divine, And w hat through life I pin'd to hear, Is mine ! is mine ! The warbling of nn ever tuneful choir, And the full deep response of David's sacred lyre. Did kind earth hide from me Her broken harmony, That thus the melodies of Heaven might roll, And whelm in deeper tides of bliss, my rapt, my wondering soul I II. Joy! I am mule no more ; My sad and silenl years, With all (heir loneliness, are o'er; Sweet Sister ! dry your tears. Listen, at hush of eve listen, al dawn of day-List, at die hour of prayer can you not hear my lay I Untaught, uncheck'd it came, As light from the chaos beamed, Praising his everlasting name, Whose blood from Calv'ry slream'd, And still it swells that highest strain, die song of the rc- deem'd. HI. Brother! my only one! Belov'd from childhood's hour, Willi whom, beneath llie vernal Sun, I wander'd, when our task was done, To gather early llow'rs, 1 cannot come to thee, Though 'twas so sweet to rest Upon thy genlly guiding arm. thy sympathising breast, ' 1 is better here lo he IV. No disappointments shroud The angel bow'rs of joy j Our knowledge hath no cloud, Our pleasures no alloy; The fearful words lo part, Are never brealh'd above; Heaven halh no broken hearts-Call me not hence my love. ' V. Oh, Mother ! He is here, To whom my soul so grew, That when Heath's fatal spear Slretch'd him upon his bier, I fain must follow too. His smile my infant grief restrain'd ; His image in my childish dream, And o'er my young affections rcign'd, With gratitude unulter'd and supreme ; But yet, till these refulgent skies burst forth in radiant glow, I knew not half tli' unnicasur'd debt a daughter's heart doth owe. VI Ask ye, if still his heart returns its ardent glow ? Ask ye if filial love Embodied spirits prove ? Look ! 'tis a little space, ere thou shalt rise to know, I bend lo soothe thy woes, " Horn near," thou canst not see ; 1 watch thy lone repose Alice doth comfort thee ; To welcome thee I wait, blest Mother, come to me. LYDIA II. SlGOUHNKY, Hartford. From the Vicksburg Whig. M isgiNMippi River. It is a question frequently asked and never satisfactorily answered, " what goes with the water ?" It is known that the difference between high and low water mark as high up as the mouth of White River is about 3(i feet, and the current at high water mark runs near 7 miles to the hour; and opposite to New Orleans, the difl'cronce between high and low water is only 12 feet and the current little over 3 miles to the hour, the width and depth of the river being the same. From which we calculate that near six times as much water passes by the mouth of White River as by New Orleans. What goes with the excess? The only solution I have heard offered is, that it escapes by the bayous Plaquemine, Lafourche and Iberville. And when we calculate tho width, depth and current of those bayous, they fall vastly short of affording a sufficient escapement. The truo explanation can I think be given. At low water throughout the whole extent, we see a sand structure exposed underlaying the bank, or that the alluvial structure on which our plantations are, is a stratum ot depos-ite made by the river above its low water mark, which opposite to tho mouth of White River is 30 faet thick, as you descend the river diminishes in thickness, as the difference between high and low water mark diminishes, and nearly corresponds to it And wherever the bottom is exposed it shows throughout the whole extent that the bottom is pure coarse sand, showing at many places the ocean shingle. Through the superimposed alluvial structure mixed with fine sand the water percolates with such facility and rapidity, that the water in a well dug at a considerable distance from tho river bank, rises and falls with the rise and fall in tho river, not varying an inch; and through the coarse sand and shingle of the bottom, it passes as rapidly aa through a common sieve. By the accurate surveys of several engineers, it is ascertained that tho fall of the Mississippi river is four inches to the mile. The distance from Natchez to New Orleans of 300 miles, will give 1200 inches or 100 feet. The depth of the river is below 50 feet at high water. The river debouches into the ocean from a promontory itself 'has made. The sur face of the ocean is by measurement below the lot- Ion ot the river above INew Urleans and corresponding with the low water mark below New- Orleans. Therefore the river is pouring through its own bottom into llie ocean, the superimposed weight giving lateral pressure to hurry the subterranean current. If the reader has ever stood upon a Mississippi sand bar in a hard rain or seen water poured from a bucket on the sand-bar, he has seen hut neither can be done in sufficient quantity to produce any current or accumulation on the surface. The river is therefore, from the time it comes below the limestone strata of Missouri and Kentucky, wasting itsclt through its own bottom. If the Mississippi river had to pursue its course like the Ohio, over the rock strata, walled in by rock and impervious clay banks, the high water mark at New Orleans would reach 100 feet above its present limit. But running over coarse sand walled in by a deposit made of sand, ancient diluvial, detritus and vegtacble mould, no more water reaches the ocean than the excess over the amount that can permeate the surrounding structure and pass off in the process of percolation or transpiration, in a subterranean descent to the ocean. The river without any restraint from rock or clay in the bottom or bank is left free to tho government of no other law than the laws of hydrostatics. The "washing" or wasting of the banks cannot be prevented, though the "caving" or 'sliding' of large portions at one time may be easily guarded against. There are many proofs of the validity of the foregoing theory derived from other rivers. The Arkansas west of that State, receives several tributaries, and is itself above their junction as largo as the congegatcd rivers after their junction within the Slate. VVithin the State it has no more tributary before reaching tho Mississippi river, a distance of 700 miles, which lies within tho sand district. As a consequence a rise of fifteen or twenty feet sometimes enters the stem of the main river without produceing any rise at the mouth unless the supply is maintained for a considerable time. And the far famed Niger of Africa, whose mouth has never been found, may be lost and wasted in the great sand plains of the desert of Sahara, and its subterranean flood may be again collected on the surface of a subterranean strata of rock and projected on the surface of the earth and thus sustain the opinion of Pliny, that the Niger is a western and main tributary of the Nile. The Wages of Labor. Tho following dialogue will illustrate bettor than any argument, the sort of population and compensation for labor with which our free trade men desire to bring the labor and wages of Americans into equality. It is part of an a.ticle published in the London Morning Chronicle, by one who says "himself has whistled at the plough." It is n conversation held at Abington : You hold the plough, how old are you ? I bo sixteen. What wages have you ? Three shillings sixty-seven cents a week. Don't you get victuals from your master ? No ; I buys them all. All out of three shillings ? Ees, and buys my clothes out of that. And what do you buy to eat ? Buy to eat ? why, I buys bread and lard. Do you eat bread and lard always ? What have you for breakfast? What have I for breakfast? Why, bread and lard. And what for dinner? Bread and lard. ; What for supper the same ? Ees, the same for f supper bread and lard. It seems to be always bread and lard ; have you no boiled bacon and vegetables ? No ; there be no place to boil 'em ; no time to boil 'em ; none to boil. Have you never had a hot dinner nor sunDer: don't you get potatoes ? Ees ; potatoes, an we pay for 'em. aTutttnr Into liu Hnil 'om nnnn n i:t. And what do you eat with them, bacon? No. What then ? Lard ; never nothing but lard. Can't you boil your potatoes or cook your victuals any way you choose ? No; has no fire. Have you no fire to warm you in cold weather ? No ; we never has fire. Where do you go in the winter evenings ? To bed, when it be time; an it ben't time we goes to some of the housen as be round about. To the firesides of some of the cottagers, I suppose. Ees, fan we can get What if you cannot get ; do you go into the farm house? No, musn't; never goes nowhere but to bed, an it be very cold. Where is your bed ? In the tollit, (stable loft.) How many of you sleep there ? All on us as be hired. How many are hired ? Four last year ; five this. Does any one make your beds for you ? No ; we make 'em ourselves. Who washes your sheets ? Who washes 'em ? Yes, they are washed, I suppose ? No, they ben't. What ! never washed ? Do you mean to say you don't have your sheets washed ? No, never since I corned. When did you come ? Last Michaelmas. Was your bed clothes clean then? I daresay they was. And don't you know how long they are to servo until they are changed again? To Michaelmas, I near luji. So one change of bed-clothes serves a vear. Don't you find your bed disagreeable ? Do i"? I be too sleepy. I never knows nought of it, only that I has got to get up afore I be awake, and never get into it afore I be a'most asleep. I bo up at four, and ben't done work afore eight at night. You don't go so long at the plough as that ? No ; but master be always having summat for we to do, as be hired ; we be always at summat. What is the most perfect Government? 'That,' said Bias 'where the inhabitants are neither too rich nor too poor.' 'That,' said Anarcharsis the Scythian 'where virtue is honored and vice detested.' 'That,' said Pittachus, 'whose dignities are always conferred upon the virtuous, and never base.' 'That,' said Cleobulns, 'where the citizens fear blame more than punishment.' 'That,' said Chilo, 'where the laws are more regarded than the orators.' 'But that,' said Solon, 'where an injury to the meanest subject, is an insult to the whole community.

Mr. Medary: I Bend you the accompanying poetry, which first mot my eye through an European publication, though penned by one of tho most gift-ed daughters ol" America. There can be no doubt as to its authorship, though its whole poetic excellence is so much superior to that which appeared in your paper over the same signature, a few days ago. You will oblige many of your readers by giving it an insertion in your paper; and, in the language of the gentleman who communicated Ihe lines to the .European publisher, " the poem itself is so very beautiful, and the subject so interesting, that I thought you would be glad of a copy of it." It has probably never appeared in print in the United States. II. " ALICE." "Alice Cogswell was an exceedingly interesting girl of high intellectual endowments, deprived of the power of hearing and speeeh by sickness during infancy. She was the daughter of a celebrated physician in Hartford, Connecticut State, America, to whose philosophic and patriotic exertions the Deaf and Dumb Asylum in that city principally owes its existence. Her attachment to her father was remarkably ardent. Immediately afler his death, she said, in her own strong languoge of gesture, "her heart had so grown to his that they could not be separated." In a few days she was suddenly called to follow him, and with the kind sympathy of a feeling friend, and in the hope of alleviating, in some degree, the double affliction of her surviving fnmily, Mrs. Sigourney, of Hartford, addressed to them tho following beautiful lines ; the idea is, that Alice, having arrived at the mansions of bliss, and found her father, addresses those fond objects of her affection whom she left on earth :" ALICE.

LYDIA II. SlGOUHNKY, Hartford. From the Vicksburg Whig. M isgiNMippi River. It is a question frequently asked and never satisfactorily answered, " what goes with the water ?" It is known that the difference between high and low water mark as high up as the mouth of White River is about 3(i feet, and the current at high water mark runs near 7 miles to the hour; and opposite to New Orleans, the difl'cronce between high and low water is only 12 feet and the current little over 3 miles to the hour, the width and depth of the river being the same. From which we calculate that near six times as much water passes by the mouth of White River as by New Orleans. What goes with the excess? The only solution I have heard offered is, that it escapes by the bayous Plaquemine, Lafourche and Iberville. And when we calculate tho width, depth and current of those bayous, they fall vastly short of affording a sufficient escapement. The truo explanation can I think be given. At low water throughout the whole extent, we see a sand structure exposed underlaying the bank, or that the alluvial structure on which our plantations are, is a stratum ot depos-ite made by the river above its low water mark, which opposite to tho mouth of White River is 30 faet thick, as you descend the river diminishes in thickness, as the difference between high and low water mark diminishes, and nearly corresponds to it And wherever the bottom is exposed it shows throughout the whole extent that the bottom is pure coarse sand, showing at many places the ocean shingle. Through the superimposed alluvial structure mixed with fine sand the water percolates with such facility and rapidity, that the water in a well dug at a considerable distance from tho river bank, rises and falls with the rise and fall in tho river, not varying an inch; and through the coarse sand and shingle of the bottom, it passes as rapidly aa through a common sieve. By the accurate surveys of several engineers, it is ascertained that tho fall of the Mississippi river is four inches to the mile. The distance from Natchez to New Orleans of 300 miles, will give 1200 inches or 100 feet. The depth of the river is below 50 feet at high water. The river debouches into the ocean from a promontory itself 'has made. The sur face of the ocean is by measurement below the lot- Ion ot the river above INew Urleans and corresponding with the low water mark below New- Orleans. Therefore the river is pouring through its own bottom into llie ocean, the superimposed weight giving lateral pressure to hurry the subterranean current. If the reader has ever stood upon a Mississippi sand bar in a hard rain or seen water poured from a bucket on the sand-bar, he has seen hut neither can be done in sufficient quantity to produce any current or accumulation on the surface. The river is therefore, from the time it comes below the limestone strata of Missouri and Kentucky, wasting itsclt through its own bottom. If the Mississippi river had to pursue its course like the Ohio, over the rock strata, walled in by rock and impervious clay banks, the high water mark at New Orleans would reach 100 feet above its present limit. But running over coarse sand walled in by a deposit made of sand, ancient diluvial, detritus and vegtacble mould, no more water reaches the ocean than the excess over the amount that can permeate the surrounding structure and pass off in the process of percolation or transpiration, in a subterranean descent to the ocean. The river without any restraint from rock or clay in the bottom or bank is left free to tho government of no other law than the laws of hydrostatics. The "washing" or wasting of the banks cannot be prevented, though the "caving" or 'sliding' of large portions at one time may be easily guarded against. There are many proofs of the validity of the foregoing theory derived from other rivers. The Arkansas west of that State, receives several tributaries, and is itself above their junction as largo as the congegatcd rivers after their junction within the Slate. VVithin the State it has no more tributary before reaching tho Mississippi river, a distance of 700 miles, which lies within tho sand district. As a consequence a rise of fifteen or twenty feet sometimes enters the stem of the main river without produceing any rise at the mouth unless the supply is maintained for a considerable time. And the far famed Niger of Africa, whose mouth has never been found, may be lost and wasted in the great sand plains of the desert of Sahara, and its subterranean flood may be again collected on the surface of a subterranean strata of rock and projected on the surface of the earth and thus sustain the opinion of Pliny, that the Niger is a western and main tributary of the Nile. The Wages of Labor. Tho following dialogue will illustrate bettor than any argument, the sort of population and compensation for labor with which our free trade men desire to bring the labor and wages of Americans into equality. It is part of an a.ticle published in the London Morning Chronicle, by one who says "himself has whistled at the plough." It is n conversation held at Abington : You hold the plough, how old are you ? I bo sixteen. What wages have you ? Three shillings sixty-seven cents a week. Don't you get victuals from your master ? No ; I buys them all. All out of three shillings ? Ees, and buys my clothes out of that. And what do you buy to eat ? Buy to eat ? why, I buys bread and lard. Do you eat bread and lard always ? What have you for breakfast? What have I for breakfast? Why, bread and lard. And what for dinner? Bread and lard. ; What for supper the same ? Ees, the same for f supper bread and lard. It seems to be always bread and lard ; have you no boiled bacon and vegetables ? No ; there be no place to boil 'em ; no time to boil 'em ; none to boil. Have you never had a hot dinner nor sunDer: don't you get potatoes ? Ees ; potatoes, an we pay for 'em. aTutttnr Into liu Hnil 'om nnnn n i:t. And what do you eat with them, bacon? No. What then ? Lard ; never nothing but lard. Can't you boil your potatoes or cook your victuals any way you choose ? No; has no fire. Have you no fire to warm you in cold weather ? No ; we never has fire. Where do you go in the winter evenings ? To bed, when it be time; an it ben't time we goes to some of the housen as be round about. To the firesides of some of the cottagers, I suppose. Ees, fan we can get What if you cannot get ; do you go into the farm house? No, musn't; never goes nowhere but to bed, an it be very cold. Where is your bed ? In the tollit, (stable loft.) How many of you sleep there ? All on us as be hired. How many are hired ? Four last year ; five this. Does any one make your beds for you ? No ; we make 'em ourselves. Who washes your sheets ? Who washes 'em ? Yes, they are washed, I suppose ? No, they ben't. What ! never washed ? Do you mean to say you don't have your sheets washed ? No, never since I corned. When did you come ? Last Michaelmas. Was your bed clothes clean then? I daresay they was. And don't you know how long they are to servo until they are changed again? To Michaelmas, I near luji. So one change of bed-clothes serves a vear. Don't you find your bed disagreeable ? Do i"? I be too sleepy. I never knows nought of it, only that I has got to get up afore I be awake, and never get into it afore I be a'most asleep. I bo up at four, and ben't done work afore eight at night. You don't go so long at the plough as that ? No ; but master be always having summat for we to do, as be hired ; we be always at summat. What is the most perfect Government? 'That,' said Bias 'where the inhabitants are neither too rich nor too poor.' 'That,' said Anarcharsis the Scythian 'where virtue is honored and vice detested.' 'That,' said Pittachus, 'whose dignities are always conferred upon the virtuous, and never base.' 'That,' said Cleobulns, 'where the citizens fear blame more than punishment.' 'That,' said Chilo, 'where the laws are more regarded than the orators.' 'But that,' said Solon, 'where an injury to the meanest subject, is an insult to the whole community.
